Setting Up Check Formats for Each Bank Account

With Payment Hub, you can link check reports and specific layout preferences to each bank account. This is helpful when you have multiple bank accounts that require their own check design.

Maintain your check printing preferences for individual bank accounts from the Bank Account Card. These preferences stay with the bank account through the payment process, eliminating the need to adjust check print settings during the payment lifecycle.

Thanks to Mekorma’s cross-company configurations, check reports and layouts are also found in the Mekorma Bank Accounts page. Review Managing Bank Accounts for All Your Companies for more information on using the Mekorma Bank Accounts feature.

Defining bank check reports

These are the reports Business Central uses to specify how a check will look when you print it.

• Bank Check Report ID: The ID number associated with the check report.
• Bank Check Report Name: The name of the specific Bank Check Report ID selected, as defined in Business Central report meta data.
• Bank Check Report Layout: The specific layout for the Bank Check Report ID selected. You can have several layouts per Bank Check Report ID, based on what layouts have been defined through standard Business Central report layout functionality.
  

Using customized check layouts

Some banks require customized check layouts, assigned to individual bank accounts. Some custom layouts may resemble a standard check report, but incorporate custom bank or company branding. For more information on report layouts, see Get Started Creating Report Layouts–Business Central | Microsoft Docs.

If you wish to use custom check layouts, you will manage them from Bank Check Report Layout.

Establish your check reports

Select your check reports in the Mekorma Settings of the Bank Account Card. When selecting a report, you can select from Business Central’s standard check reports and Mekorma’s check reports, if you are using Mekorma’s Electronic Signatures.

1. Navigate to Bank Accounts.
   

2. Select the relevant bank account.

3. In the Mekorma Settings of the bank account, open the Bank Check Report ID lookup page.

2. Select the relevant bank account.

3. In the Mekorma Settings of the bank account, open the Bank Check Report Layout lookup page.
